“I too want to rise this afternoon to recognize today as the National Day of Prayer. National Days of Prayer have been observed for several years in accordance with Public Law 100- 307. Mr. Speaker, I cannot remember a day or a year that today has meant more for this Nation. The heart of our Nation was wounded on September 11, but this wound has begun to heal through the ceaseless prayers of the people. We pray today for the continued grace of God upon our land. We pray for the safety of our men and women of the Armed Forces, many of whom are fighting across the sea in the war on terrorism, and we pray for peace throughout the world. We also pray for wisdom and guidance for this body here in the United States House of Representatives, for the Senate, for the judiciary, for the President and also his administration. Great tasks and heavy responsibilities lay upon our shoulders. Whether making decisions about the Middle East or international situations or policies for our own country, we pray that we do not rely on our own knowledge, but on the wisdom of God. Mr. Speaker, today, all across America, individuals are meeting in courthouses, city halls, State houses and here on Capitol Hill, to observe this National Day of Prayer.”
